Body Fat Beatdown: Days 3 & 4

Body fat beatdown is going very well! It's absolutely amazing how much better I feel now that tax season has ended. This week I've (a) had to deal with a recurrence of a running pain and NOT RUNNING, and also (b) been on the low end of my "enough sleep" range - and yet I feel fantastic. During tax season, this one-two punch would have beat me down and tossed me out into a snowbank in a messy, snotty heap of tears.

Top lesson for you: when stress is high, give yourself as much sleep as you possibly can. You are probably really busy and don't think you can add any more time, right? But even half an hour can make a big, big difference. Watch less TV; lower the cleanliness standards for your house (or hire someone to come in once a month to get the "deep clean" stuff); dial back a little bit on your social life (but don't ignore all your friends); pre-make food over the weekend to save time on weekdays...lots of options. Quality sleep during a high-stress time can make all the difference for your mental and physical health.

I intend to get some acne progress pictures up and do a little summary on Whole30 food discoveries, but I don't know how soon that will happen. It would seem that once tax season ended I decided I had time for everything and everyone. It's almost overwhelming, but all of my plans are FUN so I'm riding out the busy-ness with ease!

Food details (for those of you who obsess like me, or those of you who just want ideas on what the hell to eat when focusing on fat loss):

Recipe for Honey Mustard Roasted Chicken - but Hop made it with sweet potatoes to make it Whole30-approved. Next time I'd drastically cut the garlic (perhaps leave it out altogether) and add sweet onion instead. Otherwise, it was sheer deliciousness, and I'm eating it again today after my Spartacus workout!

Hi Sabrina,I'm in awe (!). But I like the challenge of only eating 1 Tbsp of SunButter. Also, I appreciate the chicken recipe. I'm trying it with sweet onion for dinner this eve. Thanks! So enjoying following your posts...
